Chapter 1703: Repairs

“President Zhang, which trashy company is talking nonsense here? Should we call the waiter to kick him out? Such people are ruining our appetite.”

Seeing Xu Ke completely disregarding him, Zhang Rui was instantly infuriated.

After all, he was the president of Xinxing Group. Although this wasn’t Su City, he still had significant influence in Beijing.

Zhang Rui didn’t expect to be beaten by some unknown kid today, and the other party didn’t even regard him seriously.

“Kid, I advise you not to show off, you’ll stop laughing later. Even if the king of heaven comes today, he can’t save you.”

Zhang Hongyu couldn’t allow Zhang Rui to humiliate Xu Ke like that, so without a word, he picked up a nearby stool and smashed it towards Zhang Rui’s head.

To be honest, he had tolerated Zhang Rui for a long time, and today was the perfect chance to let off some steam.

Zhang Rui didn’t expect Zhang Hongyu to turn violent without any provocation.

Although they were archenemies, out of respect, they usually kept things within limits.

“Zhang Rui, stop pretending here. If I hit you today, then I hit you. Don’t think we are in the dark about the shady things you’ve done in business. You might not know this, but I’ve already reached a collaboration with Xu Group. It seems your plans are about to fail.”

Zhang Rui, who was initially furious, calmed down instantly after hearing Zhang Hongyu’s words.

“Xu Group!”

Zhang Rui looked at Zhang Hongyu in disbelief.

He never imagined that Zhang Hongyu would connect with Xu Group.

You must know that Xu Group is enormous domestically. Comparing his Xinxing Group to Xu Group is simply not on the same level.

Zhang Rui had tried countless times to collaborate with Xu Group, but no matter what connections he tried, there was no way.

He didn’t expect his competitor to strike a partnership with Xu Group here today.

“How is this possible? You must be lying. Xu Group wouldn’t be interested in someone like you. They should come to me if they want to collaborate. We, Xinxing Group, are industry leaders, and I trust Xu Group doesn’t lack that vision.”

Hearing Zhang Rui’s words almost made Xu Ke vomit.

Although he had seen many shameless people, it was his first time seeing someone as brazen as Zhang Rui.

Especially someone who blows his own trumpet without a script, it completely refreshed Xu Ke’s perception.

Xu Ke admits that Xinxing Group has some accomplishments in precious metals, but calling them the leader is overly exaggerated.

There are far better companies than Xinxing Group, though they usually keep a low profile.

They generally want to develop their businesses steadily and aren’t looking for attention.

In contrast, companies like Xinxing Group will do anything for business. Their existence is a disgrace to the entire industry.

“Alright, alright, stop barking here. Xu Group wouldn’t fancy trashy companies like yours. As a president, you’re not upright, and your company can’t be any better.”

Xu Ke’s words rekindled Zhang Rui’s anger.

“Who the hell do you think you are? Do you have a place to speak here? Xu Group isn’t under your rule; why are you acting all high and mighty?”

Just after Zhang Rui finished speaking, Zhang Hongyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

This Zhang Rui is hilarious, walking right into trouble.

Zhang Hongyu particularly wanted to know what Zhang Rui was thinking now.

If he knew that the young man opposite him was the president of Xu Group, would he still be so arrogant?

Hearing Zhang Rui’s words, Xu Ke also couldn’t help laughing.

This guy seemed really furious, talking nonsense even in broad daylight.

“Who said Xu Group isn’t under my rule? That’s my company, and naturally, I call the shots. This time it’s also me collaborating with President Zhang because I can’t stand industry trash like your Xinxing Group.”

As Xu Ke’s words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

Zhang Rui stared in disbelief at Xu Ke, and his expression could only be described as shock.

Zhang Rui then realized why he found Xu Ke so familiar.

It turns out, recently, Xu Ke’s news had been going viral online, and Zhang Rui was very familiar with this new president of Xu Group.

After all, he always wanted to collaborate with Xu Group but never had the chance.

After hearing Xu Ke’s words, he immediately recalled the online photos.

Now he was one hundred percent certain that Xu Ke was the new president of Xu Group.

Thinking about what he had said earlier, Zhang Rui suddenly regretted immensely.

He had delivered himself straight to a dead end. He never expected to meet this big shot here today.

“President Xu, let me explain, everything just now was a misunderstanding.”

Zhang Rui desperately wanted to salvage the situation, wishing he hadn’t shown up today.

But there’s no medicine for regret, and everything Zhang Rui did had become a reality.

“Alright, alright, stop buttering up now. I’ve seen through you, and you’re not someone Xu Group will ever collaborate with. I can’t stand you, so I’ve decided to acquire your company.”

To be honest, Xu Ke was indeed a bit angry this time.

Zhang Rui had crossed his bottom line, and this man was simply synonymous with shamelessness.

Initially, Xu Ke didn’t intend to make a move against Xinxing Group, but now he had changed his mind.

He felt that people like Zhang Rui would only bring further disgrace to the industry.

As long as such a company exists, more innocent victims will emerge.

Though Xu Ke wasn’t a saint, he still had a sense of justice.

Since he was aware of this, he wouldn’t stand idly by.

After hearing that Xu Ke was going to acquire his company, Zhang Rui instantly looked ashen.

He knew that his lifetime’s effort was in vain and that Xu Group acquiring his company was simpler than squashing an ant.

Even after Xu Ke and the others left, Zhang Rui remained standing in place.

Zhang Hongyu had never seen Zhang Rui like this and was grateful he met Xu Ke.

Zhang Rui was utterly doomed this time. Since Xu Ke decided to acquire their company, Xinxing Group wouldn’t last much longer.

As expected, just two days later, the news of Xinxing Group being acquired by Xu Group hit the trending charts.

As the president of Xinxing Group, Zhang Rui was arrested for violating industry regulations and committing many illegal acts.

It’s safe to say Zhang Rui’s life was completely ruined, and Xinxing Group was absorbed into Xu Group.
